Privacy and file handling
PDF Garden does not upload selected files or file names. Reading, previewing, and creating PDFs happen in your browser. Workspace content lives in memory and is not autosaved. Reloading or closing the tab clears the workspace.
There are currently no ads, analytics scripts, accounts, or tracking cookies. Requests for website assets reach the hosting service, which may process ordinary connection information such as IP addresses. This notice will be updated before introducing ads.
A few things worth knowing
Are my files uploaded?+
No. Files are read and processed in your browser. No account or installation is needed, and file contents are not sent to a server.
Can I mix PDFs and photos?+
Yes. Add PDFs, JPGs, and PNGs to the same workspace. Photos use your paper and margin settings; existing PDF page dimensions stay the same.
Will my originals or quality change?+
Original files are not modified. Ordinary PDF pages are copied without rasterizing them. Photos are normalized to PNG with their decoded orientation; original metadata is not copied. Output size may increase.
Why can’t I add some PDFs?+
Encrypted PDFs and documents with form or signature fields are unsupported. Try a copy created with Print to PDF in the original app; digital signature validity is not retained. Also check the 25 MB file and 60 MB / 20-file / 120-page session limits.
Can I come back to my work later?+
Work is not autosaved. Download your PDF before reloading or closing the tab. Switching languages while editing keeps your current work.
